Will a mixture of 1 part bleach and 10 parts water hurt the mushroom mycellium?

If I had BRF jars that were 50% colonized would spraying a solution of bleach and water above their holes kill the mycellium? or harm it and if not should I keep spraying?

The dry verm will protect the other jars. No need to spray bleach. If you are really that worried place some foil on top of the jars like when you PC them. spray the bleach then uncover.

Just relax, breathe deep, and don't spray bleach everywhere

Heh, Lysol at dollar store here in Ontario.
An amateur myself, I would worry about such an instance about saving mycelium

lysol is worse then bleach. Do a search and select the trusted cultivator box or just search posts dealing with it written by RR (Rogerrabbit)

Only problem I've had with dry verm layer is gnats and small flys can still lay eggs in the dry verm, then the maggots wiggle down into the jar. I had some seriously disgusting maggot jars when I first started growing. I use inj ports and polyfill on pf jars, when I actually do pf cakes.

That's weird I've never had a bug issue. You grow other things beside mushies? I know other peeps that have grow rooms with bad knat problems but never in my cakes.

Micropore tape should be enough to stop gnats etc I think?
